I have 7 eight week old chicks out in my 8x8 coop with the big girls. They are in a separate enclosure as I have not quite integrated them yet. It has been raining constantly for the past two days and when I went out to the coop just now they were all huddled together in a corner. My remote temperature guide says it's 41 degrees with 69% humidity. Will my chicks be ok without heat tonight? It's supposed to get down to 28 degrees outside temp tonight. I'm afraid if I turn on the heat lamp that the humidity will be too much? Any ideas?
 
My 7 weeks old chicks have been in their outdoor coop for the past three weeks. This past Thurs. and Fri. nights it was 33F. Last night and tonight, upper 30s. They've been fine.
